Richard Strauss (1864-1949) - Ariadne auf Naxos (Gesamtaufnahme)
Livemitschnitt von den Salzburger Festspielen vom 6 August 1982.
With its outstanding cast, this Ariadne is a vocal feast - without equal. In her most famous role, Edita Gruberova enchants and inspires the audience with her erotically charged and sensuous display of coloratura fireworks, while Wolfgang Sawallisch. inheriting Böhm's mantle, brings new insights to the score, making-it sound irresistibly fresh-toned and radiant.
